These are my mods for the LayerFused X-series 3D Printers. Many of the parts are modified versions of the original parts created by the LayerFused team, while others are original work.

- Clicking on the link to download one of my mods will take you to my bitbucket repo. From there, you can click on the STL file(s) you want to download. This will take you to a page where it says it can't display a binary file. Click on the View Raw link and it will download the file to your computer. Or if you'd like, you can clone the repo to your computer with git to download all of the mods at once.
- Start with the LayerFused Part Printing Guide for notes on how to print these parts.
- For maximum strength, I print these parts with the following settings which may vary slightly from LF recommendations:
- .2mm layer height
- 4 wall shell
- 40% Cubic Subdivision infill
- Most parts do not need supports to be generated by your slicer if oriented correctly. I indicate in the README for a part if it needs supports.
- XY Motion - Gates 2GT
Upgrade your pulleys to genuine Gates 2GT pulleys
Includes new composite XY brackets and rear pulley brackets to support the larger gates pulleys
- XY Brackets - Composite
A one-piece version of the standard XY brackets
This rigid one piece design takes assembly pressure off the pulleys so they can move freely
- XY Motor Brackets Braced
Additional gussets make these much stronger than the originals
- Rear Pulley Mounts - 3mm
Compliments the composite XY brackets by using M3 hardware for the rear pulleys
- Simplified Rear Top Corner Bracket
A thicker version of the rear top corner bracket to resist cracking
This simplified version, focuses on strength, and relies on 2040 brackets to build the frame
- Y Rail Homing Spacer
This block aids in proper homing of the Y axis
- High Flow Parts Cooler
Dramatically improves flow from the 5015 parts fan
Includes several variations of duct for different hotends
- PCB Cable Mount - ADXL
A simple mod to the PCB Cable Mount to support mounting an accelerometer
Used by Klipper firmware to tune out ringing in your prints
These models allow you to mount various LCD screens to the front of your X-Series printer by attaching them to the top of the 8020 extrusion.
- Bowden / Wiring Side Mount
Dramatically shorten the filament path with this side mount
Includes wire management options, and great for 3z builds
- Bowden Offset Mount
Offsets the entry point for the bowden tube, better aligning it with the spool
Helpful for 3z builds to bring the bowden tube closer to the filament spool
- 608 Bearing Spool Holder (2040 Extrusion)
Reduce strain on the extruder by putting your filament spool on bearings
This mounts to the 2040 extrusion like the standard spool mount
- 608 Bearing Spool Holder (2020 Extrusion)
Reduce strain on the extruder by putting your filament spool on bearings
This mounts to the 2020 extrusion towards the rear of the printer
- Linear Rail Guides
Ensure your linear rails are centered on your extrusion
Includes guides for 2020 and 2040 extrusions
